解决Gerrit的git unpack error问题

今天上午同事和我说neutron项目要换成全新的内部代码，原先仓库里的代码要全部废弃掉。于是我就简单地创建了一个空项目使用git push --force将其置空。

下午的时候，麻烦事情就来了，同事发现提交patch的时候，会发现如下报错：

remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (2/2)
error: unpack failed: error Missing unknown 613fd2557fba30aff2dbd51c3807cc57561bab08
fatal: Unpack error, check server log
To ssh://[email protected]:29418/neutron.git
 ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/publish/datong (n/a (unpacker error))
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://[email protected]:29418/neutron.git'

通过google我找到了两篇文章：

《Gerrit Code Review - Unpack error Missing unknown》一文是说git的某object受损导致：

http://asheepapart.blogspot.jp/2011/10/gerrit-code-review-unpack-error-missing.html

我使用文提供的方法发现根本就不存在 613fd2557fba30aff2dbd51c3807cc57561bab08 object。

然后我又搜到了一个在stackoverflow上的相关提问：

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16586642/git-unpack-error-on-push-to-gerrit

提问指出如果你使用了git 1.8 + gerrit 2.7版本的组合，就会出现这样的问题，可惜的是我所使用的git和gerrit版本均低于此。

 

鉴于网上没有靠谱的解决办法，只能自己去查问题所在了。先查看了gerrit的日志：

那么就定义到613fd2557fba30aff2dbd51c3807cc57561bab08这串哈希值，为什么会丢失这个object ?

我顺手敲了一个 git review -l，发现gerrit上居然有一个还没有关闭的patch:

1974  master  Add two interfaces for manipulate forwarding individually

我打开Gerrit web界面，点击这个patchset，跳出一段错误说明：613fd2557fba30aff2dbd51c3807cc57561bab08 cannot  found.

 

啊哈，到这里真相就大白了。原因就是上午我在删除原先的旧有neutron代码时，忘记把gerrit上相关的neutron提交做关闭处理，而输入git review命令时，gerrit会先做一个rebase操作，再做提交，然而neutron仓库发生变化后，存在数据库中的1974号patch_set找不到对应的object了，所以在执行：git push gerrit HEAD:refs/publish/datong 操作时发生了前面的问题。

事已至此，解决的办法就是到reviewdb数据库里，先从patch_sets表中找出change_id是1974的记录，确定无误后，我们从changes表中找出对应的记录：

mysql> select * from changes where change_id=1974\G;
*************************** 1. row ***************************
            change_key: I6596720099473969b19675f8fbb97a2db29b5532
            created_on: 2014-01-06 12:20:07
       last_updated_on: 2014-01-07 03:02:09

     dest_project_name: neutron
      dest_branch_name: refs/heads/master
                  open: Y
                status: n
        nbr_patch_sets: 1
  current_patch_set_id: 1
               subject: Add two interfaces for manipulate forwarding individually
                 topic: portforwarding-api
last_sha1_merge_tested: NULL
             mergeable: N
           row_version: 2
             change_id: 1974
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

 

我们要做的是将其关闭，并把状态置为Abandon。（友情提醒，涉及重要业务，注意备份数据库）

mysql> update changes set open='N',status='A' where change_id=1974;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

 

OK，现在neutron的提交已经恢复正常，我可以安心地去做其他事情了:)
